I agree. I think all the latch nazis are crazy myself. They are essentially invisible up there which is nice. I put the covers on but not sure if they will be staying up there.

Yes....and at temp. You will definitely want to wear a thick long sleeved shirt or you will burn your arm reaching in to grab the dipstick (it's actually a dip toothpick size). I tested this for you and learned a lesson.

The math is pretty easy on this. TOR mentioned recently that they had over 1000 orders and they have only been taking them for the last 5 months at most. I imagine ADV easily has this many orders if not double that. That means at $6-7K per top they easily have $6 - 10 million in customers...

You can do it yourself but will require removing the passenger taillight to get to the interior latches. Hardest part is getting the taillight and trim pieces off. Many videos out thereto help.

Two nights in Ely? Oh my.

I check eBay on occasion to see if any ADV betas or knockoffs get listed. Nothing so far. But OEM 4 dr tops are going for $6500 and lower. 2 drs are like $2k and below for some reason.

I have been really impressed with what the ADV tops look like as well. But everyone needs to keep in mind, those "Beta" tops were built in house. Nobody has seen a mass produced China version yet. Heck, that is most likely the holdup in that the China tops came out like crap. So if you are...

Alex... I'll take fancy looking hardware that I'll never look at or notice for $2k extra

TY! Makes sense. Was the only option (tow pkg) that I didn't get.

Had the rear drivers plastic panel over the wheel well opened up for sound deadening install and found these wire harnesses in there. Anyone know what they are for?

This thread has now become anything but ADV lol Out of curiosity I just did a quick google search for "bronco hard top" with a computer at work that I have never done anything bronco related with. In order of appearance is 1.ADV, 2. Rallytop, 3. Turn Off Road. Anderson was not on the first...

Did everyone get the email? I got it but I was pretty early with a day 1 res. Opted out of the hardtop early and got delivery 11/21 so I would expect to be at the front. Curious if people are gonna order and resell. Seems like a hassle with not too much upside.

Thanks. That is good news. In the install video I couldn't tell if removing the taillight and adjusting it there was the appropriate action. Don't want to have to remove more than is necessary. On a side note to anyone doing this, since you already have some trim pieces removed it is easy...

Are you installing the TOR carrier? I did mine this past weekend. It closes fine and is level but the gap on the handle side got much bigger and obviously smaller on the hinge side. Perfectly level and and operates fine but I can't figure out how to get it centered again. Anyone have any...

Curious what the final straw will be for anyone on this forum at least who still has an order. If it's not the ridiculous price, the value of a hardtop based on age/value of their Bronco, the gratuitous shipping mark-up, the trashy treatment and literal lying to customers, the having to...

ADV has had your money for 765 days for Day 1 order customers. Or 2 years, 1 month, 3 days. The original estimate at time of order was August/September of the same year 2022. They have now missed that and are 581 days or so late. This is insane at this point. Each and every delay has no...

Um you realize they have been posting videos on the hardtop for a looong time now. Not exactly an encouraging way to to measure their progress in getting them into customers hands.

Mine seems to squeak in the mornings when it is cold. I'm in snow country and park outside for reference. After 5-10 minutes with the heater on it seems to stop. The squeaks are in the rear, not around the front targa at all.

Nah your not. We all have a limit. My wife's was last June but I convinced her to hold out till end of October. Then right after that everyone got the notice they would be shipping in January and I kind of regretted it. Low and behold I had nothing to regret. In fact, I was able to jump in...

Some quick pics... First one is my set-up. Second is where I routed the wires in the fender wall past the fuse box. Third is the white wire which was used to combine the two wires from the lights and soldered to the purple aux wire (this is the third switch from the left - Aux 3 in the...
